What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Where the roaster can go in Domewood
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A safe distance from the hall
- One contact on the day
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.

Do you cover Domewood?

How do you work out quantities?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
